These works are displayed for my solo exhibition at Westbeth gallery Kozuka, Nagoya in 2003. The exhibitions title is “R-COSMOS”, a fictitious space I envisioned that exists somewhere in the present but it could also exist in a far future or an ancient time. Our visible space exists in a galaxy, and a galaxy exists in a macro space, but in a micro world, another space exists in it. Macro space and micro space become one. These concepts have been with me since I was a child, and they were contributing factors to the decision of the exhibition. When I paint, I take care to cleanse my mind of any excess thought. After having decided a general tendency of a work, I paint without thinking. The intuition is more important than thinking, a work made by intuition has reality, but a work made by thinking is not interesting and does not provide any feeling from itself. I think an excellent expression has deep meaningful meaning, it is crucial and connected to the centre of space. So people feel “love” from these excellent expressions.
